Question 1

What is Firecrawl Interact?

Accepted Answer

Firecrawl Interact gives your agent a live browser to operate the web, not just read it. Scrape a page, then log in, click, type, scroll, and move through multi-step flows in natural language or Playwright code to reach content that only exists after you act on the page.

Question 2

How is Interact different from Scrape?

Accepted Answer

Scrape reads a page and returns clean markdown or structured data in one call. Interact keeps the browser open so your agent can fill forms, click buttons, paginate, and extract dynamic content. Any scrape can become a live session through its job ID.

Question 3

Who uses Interact?

Accepted Answer

Teams building AI agents that need to log in, navigate gated dashboards, complete multi-step flows, or extract data that only appears after interaction. Over 1.25M developers and 150,000+ companies build with Firecrawl.

Question 4

Can I control the browser with plain English?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell the session what to do in natural language and it clicks, types, scrolls, and extracts data for you. No selectors required. When you need exact, repeatable steps, pass Playwright code in Node or Python, or agent-browser commands in Bash. Both run on the same session.

Question 5

Can I stay logged in across runs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Save cookies, localStorage, and sessions to a named profile and reuse them across runs. You log in once and skip it next time. The login cost is paid once, not on every run.

Question 6

Can I watch the browser in real time?

Accepted Answer

Every session returns a stream URL you can embed to watch the browser live, or hand control to your users for login and guided flows. Responses include both a read-only liveViewUrl and an interactiveLiveViewUrl.

Question 7

Can I connect my own browser tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each session exposes a raw Chrome DevTools Protocol URL, so you can attach Playwright, Puppeteer, or any CDP client and drive it with your own code.

Question 8

How long do sessions last?

Accepted Answer

Sessions expire automatically after 10 minutes of total time or 5 minutes of inactivity, whichever comes first. Always stop sessions when done to avoid unnecessary charges.

Question 9

How much does Interact cost?

Accepted Answer

2 credits per session minute, prorated by the second. Prompt-based actions cost 7 credits per session minute. The scrape itself is billed separately (1 credit per scrape). Always stop your session when done.

Question 10

Is there a free tier?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free accounts include 1,000 credits per month, enough to try Interact with prompts, code execution, live view, and persistent profiles. No credit card required.
